The Chanel 19 was reimagined with a striking and sophisticated appearance for a contemporary aesthetic, just as the iconic Classic Flap bag. The Chanel 19 was inspired by the original Chanel 2.55 bag, but it was redesign with a more modern style. In the same way that the Chanel 2.55 was debuted in 1955, the Chanel 19 was conceived by Karl Lagerfeld in collaboration with Virginie Viard, who is currently the creative director of the brand. The name of the Chanel 19 was derived from the year in which it was created.
A luxurious touch is achieved by embellishing this bag with a larger version of the diamond quilting, which gives it a gentle and relaxed rectangular shape. An eye-catching appearance was achieved by means of the CC logo, which was created from chain links and highlighted the velvety leather finish. The Chanel 19 bag features a distinctive combination of metals, including a gold or silver-plated CC emblem on the front flap and a hefty chain strap made from gold and ruthenium-plated links. This particular combination is one of our favorite aspects of the bag.
